Short Description and Goals
The target of this Special Session is to attract the most recent state of the art research in health information systems and bioinformatics. Health information systems is a topic that has received much attention during the previous years. With the advances in bioinformatics, health information systems are revolutionized to take into account data, tools and methods coming from the bioinformatics community.
This Special Session will address information systems as tools both for IT experts as well as users (patients, clinicians, researchers).
Special Session Topics
Potential subjects include but are not limited to:
- Health information management
- Decision Support systems in healthcare
- Health information flow modeling
- Health data modeling and mining
- Bioinformatics methods and tools
- Biological information systems
- Healthcare informatics
- Healthcare analytics
- Biomedical informatics
- Health policy assessment tools
- Technologies for health data integration
- e-Health for prevention and rehabilitation
- Security, privacy and trust for e-Health services/applications
- Computing/storage cloud infrastructures for e-Health
- Active Assisted Living
- Social Networking, Computing and Education for Health
- Internet of Things (IoT) applications for e-Health
- Patient Monitoring Systems and Wearable devices
- Mobile e-Health
- Tools for patient empowerment and education
Submission Guidelines
Authors should submit original, unpublished research papers. All papers must not simultaneously be submitted to another journal or conference.
Papers and abstracts should be submitted through the main SEEDA-CECNSM 2020 submission website in PDF format. Authors should follow the SEEDA-CECNSM 2020 formatting as indicated here: https://hilab.di.ionio.gr/seeda2020/index.php/submissions/
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them will register to the SEEDA-CECNSM 2020 conference and present the paper. It is expected that at least one author will register for each accepted paper. Only papers that have been presented by their authors during the SEEDA-CECNSM 2020 conference will be published in the conference’s proceedings.
Extended versions of accepted papers will be considered for publication in the following Special Issue of the Computation journal:
